Exclusive: Sources close to the intelligence
community report that Director Comey’s FBI computer was illegally
accessed immediately after he was dismissed from his post. They further
report that ‘removable media’ was used in the commission of this crime.
‘Removable media’ is a category describing physical devices that can be
placed into a computer, either to download information or to upload it,
such as a memory card, a USB stick, a removable hard drive, a thumb
drive or similar items.
Sources further report that a person or persons allied to Donald
Trump passed data accessed from Director Comey’s computer to Russian
diplomats. It is not known when or how this took place. A piece of
removable media containing all the data in question has been recovered
from hostile actors, sources say, and is now in the possession of the
Justice Department.
Director Comey is said to have known in advance
that Mr. Trump would dismiss him. He took careful steps, these sources
say, to leave not only a paper trail as we have seen in the story of the
‘Comey Memo’ but
also a digital one. Director Comey’s own primary work computer, and
other computers in and around his former office, were fitted with
sophisticated intelligence community software allowing the Justice
Department to see precisely how and when they were attacked.
The official Foreign Ministry of Russia’s Twitter account posted a tweet showing Foreign Minister Lavarov laughing with Rex Tillerson,
the Secretary of State who has won the Order of Friendship of Vladimir
Putin, over Director Comey’s firing, on the day Donald Trump hosted the
Russians in the White House and verbally gave them top-secret allied intelligence, later published by the Russian news agency Tass.
White House sources say Trump has already discussed his resignation more
than once. Perhaps when he discovers that the justice and intelligence
communities are well aware he breached Director Comey’s computer and
handed FBI data to Russia, he may decide to spare the nation further
trauma and resign.
If he becomes President, Mike Pence will be unable to pardon Donald Trump for any crimes at the state level.
More on this story as we receive it.
